Instrumental guitar – Rod DeGeorge Promo Clip for Cosmic Playground

Promo for my Instrumental Guitar CD Cosmic Playground
There must be a lot of monkey bars and turbo-tube slides in DeGeorge’s playground. It’s fun to zoom through all the melodies, wah stabs, keyboard flurries, shred bits and harmony solos, and then collapse with giddy exhaustion.
Guitar Player magazine
“If there’s justice in the world, Rod DeGeorge will be one of the brightest stars amongst 21st century new guitar heroes…this is one of the hottest guitar instrumental records in the last few years. A must buy, no doubt about it!” – 10 out of 10 points.
HammerWorld Magazine, Hungary
“Check out this adventurous young fella: his playing is very exciting, and his technical proficiency is quite admirable.”
Elliott Randall (Steely Dan/Solo Artist)
“It almost frightens me about what we may see in the future from this incredibly talented musician. Cosmic Playground is more than a calling card…it’s a full-on statement of purpose that he has arrived and demands your attention”
Progscape.com
Rod DeGeorge is by far one of the most prolific talents I have come across in a long time. His international flavor is sure to become a heavy influence on future artists for years to come

Twisted Voice
“I would pity the Devil if he ever made his way from Georgia to Pennsylvania cause as bad a time as he had with Charlie, he would just be thrashed by Rod!”
Sea of Tranquility
“Rod DeGeorge has the potential to be a big guitar hero like Steve Vai or John Petrucci. Points: 15/10 (no, not 10…15!!!)”
Gitarren-Blog.de
“Solid, clean playing and great shredding skills abound, but unlike the modern prog-metal heads who are into shredding without making much of a musical statement, this guitarist speaks volumes in his writing, technique, and phrasing.”
Music Street Journal
“Then there was Rod DeGeorge’s legendary playing I’d heard so much about and finally got to see. And yes, he’s as good as the rumors and then some”. -Roving Reporter, Cindy Rutolo – Dietrich, PA Musician
“DeGeorge’s guitar work is nothing short of magnificent and his songs have interesting and inventive chord structure changes” – Jim Speese, Reading Eagle

Guitar Playing Sweep Picking Exercise
Dec 20, 2009 sweep picking

This is the first video with my Carvin V3, but don’t critique the sound quality, because the camera’s mic is shitty. I do however like to think that its godly tone is somewhat showcased. I’ve been playing for three-ish years. It’s just a guitar solo (really more of a sweep picking exercise, hence the title). I was motivated to learn sweep picking by studying the work or artists such as Frank Gambale, Rusty Cooley, and Jason Becker.
Many have asked exactly how I went about learning sweep picking. There’s really no one way to learn. All I can say is practice it a lot. Nothing but sweep picking, sweep picking, sweep picking. Get a metronome, as doing it in time is very important and difficult, especially if you try to do it AFTER you’ve learned to sweep at a good speed. Everybody learns at a different pace, and sweep picking may be easier or harder for you than other players, that’s just the way it is. Personally, sweep picking seems to almost “come naturally” to me at this point. I find it easier than alternate picking.
Thanks for watching!
